Chapter 195: Five Years Later
After the Hu family moved away, the Zhang family took back Jiuhua Mountain, but the Zhang family still had too few monks to guard this mountain gate for the time being.
This third-order spiritual vein, the Zhang family just can't use it for the time being, and it is impossible for Zhang Zhixuan to leave it empty, so as not to be taken back by Qingxuanzong under an excuse and arranged for other foundation building and casual cultivation.
For this reason, Zhang Zhixuan can only try to transfer manpower.
First of all, he mobilized the vassals of the family, most of these vassal small families, most of them have more people and fewer spiritual veins, recruiting them is a matter of killing two birds with one stone, not only can give them a place to cultivate, but also occupy the spiritual veins first.
Second, we will increase the intensity of recruitment, recruit loose cultivators from Taicheng County to join the Zhang family, and marry with the Zhang family monks on a large scale to integrate into the family.
In the scattered cultivation of Taicheng County, almost all those who are capable and ambitious have gone to Montenegro, and almost all those who remain are at the bottom. Some of them are better, there is a hundred arts of cultivating immortals, and they can barely support their own cultivation by relying on Xihefang.
If you don't have the skills and don't dare to go to the Southern Wilderness, you won't be able to earn a spirit stone in a year, and if you don't have a steady stream of spiritual energy to nourish your body, you can only keep consuming the vitality in your body.
Even these most incapable casual cultivators, this time they are also the targets of Zhang Zhixuan's recruitment, these cultivators who have regressed, as long as they are given an environment with sufficient aura, their cultivation will be easy to recover.
As long as they join the Zhang family and have three or five years to cultivate, these people will be able to return to their original cultivation realm, even if most of their cultivation is very low, it can also alleviate the situation that some of the Zhang family are extremely short of people.
Even a monk in the innate stage can cultivate the spiritual field and fight in the market.
After Zhang Zhixuan started in two ways, he finally got more than 30 monks to go to Jiuhua Mountain.
In order to manage these monks, Zhang Zhixuan also sent a new elder to Jiuhua Mountain to manage these messy manpower.
In the past ten years, the Zhizi monks have finally begun to grow up, and this new elder is younger than Zhang Zhixuan, and it is Zhang Zhixing, the sixteenth monk of the Zhizi generation.
He is also a Sanlinggen monk, six years younger than Zhang Zhixuan, at the age of forty-four to break through to the ninth layer of Qi training, at his age, there are still more than ten years before the best age for foundation building, sixty years old, to take a foundation building pill before the age of sixty, there is still some certainty that the foundation building will be successful.
Among the eight ninth-level Qi cultivators in the family, he was the only one who still had the opportunity to build a foundation. The rest of the elders either missed the best age, or their cultivation speed was too slow, and their foundation was vain, even if they built a foundation for them, they would not be able to build a foundation at all.
When the Hu family left Jiuhua Mountain, they almost swept away everything they could take away, and the huge Jiuhua Mountain, except for the empty houses, did not leave anything at all.
In order to keep this spiritual vein, Zhang Zhixuan not only had to arrange a mountain protection formation on the mountain, but also took out a batch of spiritual rice to supply the monks who stayed in Jiuhua Mountain, and provided spiritual rice seeds to re-operate the twenty acres of spiritual fields in Jiuhua Mountain.
When Jiuhua Mountain was in the hands of the Zhang family before, there was no spiritual field on the mountain. When it fell into the hands of the Hu family, their family did not lack spiritual stones, so they gradually opened up some spiritual fields, and now there are twenty acres.
Twenty acres of spiritual land is already a very large amount of property, and the cost of opening up twenty acres of spiritual land alone is more than two thousand spiritual stones.
Even if the quality of the spiritual field on Jiuhua Mountain is not high, only the first-order lower grade, these twenty acres of spiritual field can be used well, and more than 2,000 catties of spiritual rice can be harvested every year, and at least more than 100 spirit stones can be exchanged.
This spirit stone is enough for the monks stationed on Jiuhua Mountain to be self-sufficient, and there is no need to add additional burdens to the family.
When Jiuhua Mountain settled down, Zhang Zhixuan had a little free.
In this way, spring goes to autumn, flowers bloom and fall, time is like an arrow, the sun and the moon are like a shuttle.
In the busy and busy Zhang family, five years have passed like this.
In the past five years, the good news of the Zhang family has come one after another.
Zhang Zhixuan's cultivation has improved again, and he has become a monk of the sixth layer of foundation building, and even his purple qi divine light spell, after thirty years of hard cultivation, has also achieved a small success.
After thirty years of hard practice, trembling at every step, Zhang Zhixuan finally opened up most of the tricks, although he couldn't release divine light to hurt the enemy, but he had also trained into a pair of divine eyes.
After thirty years of penance and purple qi divine light, Zhang Zhixuan's eyes already have a hint of miracle, and the eyesight is far beyond that of ordinary monks, and he can already see through a lot of psychedelic spells.
Qingchan also broke through the first layer of the realm last year and entered the third layer of foundation building.
She has been building her foundation for eleven years, and she has almost broken through the first-level realm in five years to cultivate, and this progress is not as good as that of the Second Spirit Root Cultivator, and it has not aroused the suspicion of others.
Qing Chan is almost fifty years old this year, and it is not so appalling that she has cultivated to the third level of foundation building at this age.
If there is no shortage of Zhuji Dan and sufficient resources to start cultivating, the monks of the Second Spirit Root will often be able to cultivate to the middle stage of foundation building before the age of fifty.
The bigger good news came from the patriarch, who had been practicing in Chaoyin Mountain in recent years, and had also broken through the first-level realm three years ago and became a seventh-level foundation building monk.
In the later stage of foundation building, the mana will begin to increase greatly, and even the sequelae caused by the old injuries in the past can be repaired a few points.
It has been seventeen years since the patriarch broke through to the sixth layer of the foundation before the crusade against Shuangjiao Mountain.
It took seventeen years to break through the first level of pass, and as the patriarch of the Second Spirit Root Cultivator, it was actually very slow, if it weren't for the influence of the old injury, he would have been able to choose to break through eight years ago.
The monks of the foundation building period of the family have made progress on the path, and even the ninth-level monks of the Qi cultivation period have added three people to the family. They are Zhang Zhixuan's thirteenth brother Zhang Zhiren, nephews Zhang Siyang and Zhang Sipeng.
These three people are all Zhang Zhixuan's peers, and the thirteenth brother Zhang Zhiren is two years older than Zhang Zhixuan, and soon it will be time for both qi and blood to lose, and there is no grasp of building the foundation.
However, he is the formation mage of the family. Although his talent is far inferior to that of the fourth uncle, he is only a second-order high-grade formation mage, but if the family has a formation mage, he will not break the inheritance.
Zhang Siyang is ranked sixth among the monks of the Sizi generation, but he is three years older than Zhang Zhixuan, and like Zhang Zhiren, there is almost no possibility of building a foundation. As a monk of the Zhuji family, he has also learned a hundred arts of cultivating immortals, and his talisman making skills are already good, and he can make second-order high-grade talismans.
Because of the ancestor of Chuyun, the Zhang family's talisman making technique has a good inheritance.
In addition, the patriarch and Qing Chan are both third-order talisman makers, and they can take out a few third-order spirit runes every year to sell them in the Black Mountain Hundred Treasure Pavilion in exchange for a spirit stone.
With this example, most of the monks in the family chose to cultivate the Hundred Arts of Immortals, and they chose the talisman technique that consumed less resources. Even so, there are still very few monks who can truly integrate this craft and can draw second-order high-grade spirit runes, and among the family Qi cultivators, there are only three or five of them.
Zhang Sipeng is the eleventh in the family, only forty-two years old. He is also a monk of the Three Spirit Roots, and the family's situation has begun to improve since he was born, Zhang Zhixuan has successfully built a foundation when he was a teenager, and basically there is no lack of cultivation resources, and he broke through the ninth layer of Qi cultivation at the age of forty-two.
At this age, breaking through the ninth layer of Qi training, as long as there is a foundation building pill, there is a few points of certainty.
It's a pity that the family only has one Zhuji Dan, in order to maintain the fairness of the family, if there are not enough good deeds in their hands, whether it is Zhang Sipeng or Zhang Zhixing, Zhang Zhixuan will not be able to give them Zhuji Dan.
As a superior, the most taboo is the unfairness of rewards and punishments.
If a family does not have a fair system of ascension, it will soon fall into all kinds of internal contradictions, and it will gradually decline and die.
Now Tsukidan is the most valuable property in the family, and who to give it to or not will affect the monk's path, and even the rise and fall of the family.
If there is no clear system, it can only lead to fierce competition and even serious infighting among Qi refining cultivators.
And if you want to compete for Tsukidan, you must at least contribute to the family, and whoever has more good deeds will be helpful to the family.
And Zhang Sipeng and Zhang Zhixing, the good deeds in their hands are only one or two hundred, and with such a little credit, it is impossible for Zhang Zhixuan to take a look at it and leave Zhuji Dan to them.
Now is not the time of life and death, and there is an urgent need to support a foundation monk.
There are also Zhang Zhixuan and Qingchan at home to support the situation, and the patriarch's longevity is still decades, compared to the monks in the Qi cultivation period, their longevity is still very long, and they have enough time and patience to wait, and when there are suitable monks to exchange for Zhuji Dan, Zhang Zhixuan will not violate the family system at all unless it is absolutely necessary.
